Every time I tried to post what I did, it would hang. Only the test post worked.

I have an older XBOX360 that I tried to hook up to the free HDMI port (DVR or HDMI4) on the RX-V1900. No matter what I tried in the AVR menu, I could not get the XBOX to display through the AVR via HDMI. I even switched to a known working HDMI port and still nothing. I had to connect it directly to the display to get video output.

Thanks for all your help. I sent you what I wanted to post yesterday. Let me know if you have received it.

I did, and I'm still working on the posting error.

It sounds like you found a workaround by plugging the XBOX 360's HDMI into your display and the audio into the AVR. However, you should be able to simply plug the HDMI into the AVR for audio and video, as I'm sure you know.

For example, on my preamp, I can name inputs. I plugged my XBOX 360's HDMI into HDMI2. Then, in the Input Setup menu, I named the HDMI2 input XBOX and assigned the audio to be taken from the HDMI interface.

You may not be able to name your inputs, but you should be able to assign audio and video like my example.

What output resolution is your XBOX set for? It shouldn't make a difference, but make sure it's set to 720p. I don't think 1080p is an option for the XBOX 360.

Thats the thing. I tried a used HDMI port and it didn't work either. There must be a setting on the XBOX I can play with. I have the input on AVR to auto scale everything to 1080p. I will check again. I like playing around trouble shooting things like this as its a good learning oppertunity and drives home a point that a poorly documented instruction manual fails to do.
